It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Yoxall. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Yoxall involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Yoxall with a residential mortgage from Halifax.We have a Yoxall conveyancing solicitor but Halifax advised that she’s not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Halifax panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Halifax panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Halifax solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax

How does conveyancing in Yoxall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Yoxall come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Yoxall usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yoxall or who has acted in the same development.
